Storage class memory (SCM) fundamentally redefines the traditional memory and storage hierarchy by combining the performance of DRAM with the capacity of disks. Using SCM to enable fast, random, and low-latency access to large ‘in-memory’ databases, Virident’s GreenCloud servers offer dramatic improvements in performance, scalability, and energy and cost efficiency for MySQL in the data center.
